<br />DID YOU KNOW THAT OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC
<br />VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH?
<br />Domestic violence is the use or threat of use of physical,
<br />sexual or verbal behavior to coerce a partner to do something in
<br />order to gain or maintain power and control in a relationship.
<br />Common forms of domestic violence include emotional abuse,
<br />physical assault and threats. One in three women will be abused
<br />during their lifetime, and the violence will affect all our communi-
<br />ties. One in three teenagers report knowing a friend or peer who
<br />has been hit, punched, kicked, slapped, choked or physically hurt
<br />by their partner. If trapped in an abusive relationship, 73% of
<br />teens said they would turn to a friend for help, but only 33% who
<br />have been in or known about an abusive relationship said they
<br />have told anyone about it. For more information, visit:
<br />www.alexandrahouse.org. Or call 763-781-2332.

<br />Street Obstructions. We have had problems with landscapers and oth-
<br />ers dumping rock and mulch on City streets. The same is true of roll-
<br />off dumpsters during construction projects. It is a violation of City Or-
<br />dinance to place any obstruction on a City street without a permit, as
<br />these items can damage the street or cause hazards to motorists.
<br />Generally, we will not issue a permit for rock and mulch on the street
<br />and rarely will issue a permit for a dumpster. These should be placed
<br />in the driveway or on the yards The Police Department will issue cita-
<br />ept., 2008
